‘Women bear the rhyme’ Prudens van Duyse (1804-1859) as mediator of female authors The Flemish poet, Prudens van Duyse (1804-1859), was a leading literary figure in the first half of the nineteenth century. In addition to his work as a writer, he also acted as a cultural mediator and it is striking that, in his work, he paid exceptional attention to female authors. This article examines, on the one hand, the relationship between Van Duyse's formulated beliefs and norms about female authors; and on the other, his motives and intentions for bringing these authors so prominently into the spotlight. In addition, it reveals how he incorporated female authors into his romantic poetics and employed them in his cultural-nationalist program.

R.C. Bakhuizen van den Brink’s travel letters, written during his ‘exile’, 1844-1851 In the years 1844-1851, during his journey along libraries and archives in Germany and Austria, the young scholar and later writer and archivist Bakhuizen van den Brink (1810-1865) wrote extensive love letters to Julie Simon, who he had left behind in Liège. Expressing the emotions aroused by his exile from the Netherlands and the separation from the young woman whose heart he desired to win, Bakhuizen resorted to themes that are recurrent in other literary genres such as the epic and the Bildungsroman. Understanding the letters as works of art, this article sets out to trace and analyze these intertextual references between the letters and the genres of the epic and the Bildungsroman. References to the latter come to light when comparing the love letters to the letters Bakhuizen van den Brink wrote to his learned Dutch friends. By disclosing this intertextual network and by relating the themes from the epic and Bildungsroman to the repertoire of the young, 19th-century Dutch scholar, this article holds an attempt to deconstruct these 19th-century love letters.
R.C.Bakhuizen van den Brink的旅行信，写于1844-1851年“流亡”期间。1844-1851年，在德国和奥地利的图书馆和档案馆旅行期间，年轻的学者、后来的作家和档案管理员Bakhuizen van den Blink（1810-1865）给Julie Simon写了大量的情书，Julie Simon是他留在列日的。Bakhuizen表达了他从荷兰流亡以及与他渴望赢得芳心的年轻女子分离所引发的情绪，他求助于其他文学流派中反复出现的主题，如史诗和成长小说。本文将书信理解为一种艺术作品，试图追溯和分析书信与史诗和成长小说体裁之间的互文关系。当将这些情书与Bakhuizen van den Brink写给他学识渊博的荷兰朋友的信进行比较时，就会发现后者。通过揭示这种互文网络，并将史诗和成长小说的主题与这位19世纪荷兰年轻学者的作品联系起来，本文试图解构这些19世纪的情书。

Border control in the Dutch literary field between the wars. The literary critic A.M. de Jong and Nieuwe Zakelijkheid Powerful critics around the journal Forum (1932-1935) like Hendrik Marsman and Menno ter Braak branded authors of Nieuwe Zakelijkheid to be no more than reporters and imitating followers – as opposed to ‘real’ writers of literature. However, from a field theoretical perspective, what seems to be a critical judgment in a literary debate, on closer inspection turns out to be about delimitating the borders of the literary field against a young group of journalists trying to find their way into literature. Against this background the present article focuses on Forum-opponent A.M. de Jong and his use of Nieuwe Zakelijkheid, situated within the debate on the term and the concept in other art disciplines as painting or architecture. The article argues that De Jong’s concept of literature reveals more similarities with his assumed antagonists than current research claims.
战争期间荷兰文学领域的边境管制。文学评论家A.M.de Jong和Nieuwe Zakelijkheid在《论坛》杂志（1932-1935）上有强大的评论家，如Hendrik Marsman和Menno ter Braak，认为《Nieuwe zakelijkhei》的作者只不过是记者和模仿追随者，而不是“真正的”文学作家。然而，从场域理论的角度来看，在文学辩论中，一个似乎是批判性的判断，经过更仔细的观察，结果是划定了文学场域的边界，反对一群试图进入文学的年轻记者。在这种背景下，本文重点关注论坛的反对者A.M.de Jong和他对Nieuwe Zakelijkheid的使用，这一术语和概念在绘画或建筑等其他艺术学科中存在争议。这篇文章认为，德容的文学概念比目前的研究主张更能揭示出他与假想对手的相似之处。

‘He would be a man in his eyes. ’ Male homosocial desire in novels by Menno Ter Braak Menno ter Braak is one of the most prominent writers of Dutch high modernism. In his two novels, Hampton Court and Dr. Dumay verliest…, the double bind of homosocial desire is fully operative. Building on the critical work of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, this paper questions the role of the ‘epistemology of the closet’ in Ter Braaks literary oeuvre, which is peppered with scenes of closeted homosexual desire. Moreover, and in addition to Sedgwick, I pay special attention to the representation of emancipated women in Ter Braaks novels. As I aim to show, the male characters seem to have accepted (or even internalised) feminist notions. Yet, the relative closeness to, and sometimes even identification with, emancipated women, reinforces the conservative reflexes build within male homosocial bonds. So in the end, the conservative fear on which the homosocial bond feeds, trumps the desire for change and a loosening up of the erotic spectrum.
“在他眼里，他是个男子汉。Menno Ter Braak是荷兰高级现代主义最杰出的作家之一。在他的两部小说《汉普顿宫》和《杜梅医生》中，同性社会欲望的双重束缚充分发挥了作用。以Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick的批判性作品为基础，本文质疑了“壁橱的认识论”在Ter Braaks文学作品中的作用，这是一个充满了同性恋欲望的场景。此外，除了塞奇威克之外，我还特别关注特·布拉克小说中对解放妇女的表现。正如我想要展示的那样，男性角色似乎已经接受(甚至内化)了女权主义观念。然而，与解放妇女的相对亲近，有时甚至与解放妇女的认同，加强了男性同性社会关系中建立的保守反射。因此，最终，保守的恐惧——同性恋社会纽带的滋养——压倒了对改变和放松情色光谱的渴望。

‘The new batch’. Anja Meulenbelt and men's liberation in the Netherlands Dutch writer and activist Anja Meulenbelt was a key figure in second wave feminism in the Netherlands. Her autofictional novel De schaamte voorbij is considered a milestone in feminist literature in Dutch. Besides her literary work, she had published widely on gender and literary criticism from the 1970s onwards and continues to do so today. A lesser known aspect of her writing and activism concerns masculinity and male emancipation. Second wave feminism was accompanied by a pro-feminist men’s movement which included a number of short-lived periodicals such as Mannentaal en Manuscript. Meulenbelt took serious interest in this movement and commented on it in various essays and articles, arguing that its questioning of the male gender role could contribute to gender equality. This article traces Meulenbelt’s involvement with men’s activism and masculinity studies and discusses the representation of men and masculinity in two novels: De schaamte voorbij and Alba. While the former suggests an impasse in heterosexual relationships with men, even with those of the ‘new generation’ who have been influenced by feminism, the latter depicts a more gratifying relationship with an emancipated male partner.

‘Long live woman and her freedom. It is indecent to gurgle.’ Muslims, masculinity and irony in Hafid Bouazza's work This article sets out to scrutinize the world of difference that lies between Hafid Bouazza’s story-collection De voeten van Abdullah from 1996, and his collection of essays De akker en de mantel from 2015. It does so by means of a critical re-reading of Bouazza’s celebrated 1996 debut, a work that at that time was primarily read as a tongue-in-cheek depiction of rural Muslim life. This re-reading positions De voeten van Abdullah in a ‘pre-post-erous’ relation to Bouazza’s later, Islam-critical, if not Islamophobic writing. This article’s comparative analysis of both works focuses in particular on the representation of Muslim masculinity and of the supposed threat that this particular masculinity poses to the position of women in society. As I will argue it is the transideological and elusive force of irony in Bouazza’s stories that makes them escape any final determination. The ‘pre-post-erous’ juxtaposition of the two works, however, not only reveals their ideological and historical situatedness, but also that of their readers/readings.
“女人和她的自由万岁。咯咯笑是不礼貌的。”哈菲德·布瓦扎作品中的穆斯林、男子气概和讽刺本文旨在审视哈菲德·布阿扎1996年的故事集《De voeten van Abdullah》和2015年的散文集《De akker en De mantel》之间的差异世界。它通过对布瓦扎1996年著名处女作的批判性重读来做到这一点，当时这部作品主要被解读为对农村穆斯林生活的戏谑描绘。这篇重读文章将德沃滕·范·阿卜杜拉定位为与布瓦扎后来的伊斯兰批判（如果不是仇视伊斯兰教的话）的“前-后”关系。本文对这两部作品的比较分析特别关注穆斯林男子气概的表现，以及这种特殊的男子气概对女性在社会中的地位构成的所谓威胁。正如我所说，正是布瓦扎故事中的跨意识形态和难以捉摸的讽刺力量使他们逃脱了任何最终的决定。然而，这两部作品的“前后”并置不仅揭示了它们的意识形态和历史处境，也揭示了它们读者/阅读的意识形态和政治处境。

Desperate men leed to desperate deeds. Masculinity in Arthur van Amerongen's posture To study the dynamics in the alleged ‘crisis of masculinity’ through a case-study, this contribution makes a posture analysis of columnist Arthur van Amerongen. By exploring his posture and the field that speaks from it, it becomes clear how mechanisms such as sexual nationalism, masculinnocence, and recurring anti-feminism tropes give shape to masculinity. Van Amerongen performs a victimized hegemonic white masculinity: he embodies the type of dominant masculinity, but claims to have lost the hegemonic position in the gender hierarchy. Coming from a heteronormative, phallogocentric worldview, he portrays a domination over white masculinity by third wave feminism that favours potentially dangerous cultural and religious diversity. When speaking of topics regarding boundaries, sex, gender, or other ethnicities, his posture is repeatedly ambiguous. This use of detours to attain masculinity underscores the professed shift in the gender hegemony.

‘That I may perish like a man’. War and masculinity This essay focuses on the cultural representation of masculinity in times of war. It unravels the gender effects of the topic ‘call to arms’ in which men are addressed as soldiers while women are often relegated to invisibility or to a helping role. Thus, the onset of war creates gender. The topic reconstitution of men and women in times of war is first analysed in a selected corpus of Dutch war poetry (Jan Camperts ‘Het lied der achttien dooden’ (1943) among others), secondly in Michael Curtiz’ classic film Casablanca (1942) and finally in W.F. Hermans’ novel De donkere kamer van Damocles (1958). Cultural texts can create genders, as I am demonstrating through a detailed analysis of Casablanca, but they can also resist this creation and critically enlighten its failure, which is, in my view, the gender scenario of De donkere kamer van Damocles.

Lucebert’s male fantasies. Bertus Swaanswijk/Lucebert’s early poetry read in the light of biographical information on Swaanswijk's war years In his biography of Dutch poet Lucebert, biographer Wim Hazeu published fragments of letters in which young Bertus Swaanswijk, who worked in a German factory during World War 2, spoke positive about nazi-Germany and used antisemitic discourse. In this article, the early poems of Swaanswijk/Lucebert are analysed from the perspective of Klaus Theweleits theories on ‘male fantasies’ in texts written by early 20th century Freikorps soldiers. This analysis will be used to reflect on the question whether the biographical knowledge should influence our interpretation of Lucebert’s poetry.

This analysis will be used to reflect on the question whether the biographical knowledge should influence our interpretation of Lucebert’s poetry.","PeriodicalId":39266,"journal":{"name":"Nederlandse Letterkunde","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41434408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
